All the events have shown that Hanting is facing a major crisis. This crisis was not only felt by the people within the Han court, but even the enemies of the Han court smelled the tempting smell. Among the ensuing threats, the news of Da Song's move reached Tanggu the latest, but it also brought the hardest blow!

Unlike the other three, after all, the Zhao and Song dynasties were in a sense able to compete with the Han court, and the comprehensive strength of economy, military, politics, and culture was the most complete.

The news of the large-scale military mobilization of the Southern Song Dynasty court in Lunan has already reached Tanggu at this time, and due to the interval of news, there has been no alarm in Hanzhong for the time being, but since Lunan is unstable, it will be a matter of time before there is a crisis in Weinan.

"It's finally here." Yang Yingqi fiddled with the chess pieces in his hand and dropped the last key for Black, and White had four places to save, but no matter how it was arranged, there would always be one or two flaws: "Do you want to be eaten a piece, or take a risk and gamble to win and lose?" Before finding the answer, Yang Yingqi messed up the chessboard and muttered: "If you only count the chess surface, then I will already lose." But if you include people's hearts, then I still have a chance. ”

Zhi Yunwu also has a chess game in his heart, but the scale of this chess game is far less grand than in Yang Yingqi's heart, and it can even be said that the chess game in Zhi Yunwu's mind is only a corner of the chess game in Yang Yingqi's mind, and other fields are like a layer of fog for him - although since listening to the government, no matter whether the Han court has news about military affairs or government affairs, there must be a copy of the palace, but the news that different people can read from the same newspaper is different after all. Although many of the reports were read, limited by experience, he could see much less truth than Yang Yingqi. After hearing the news that Lu Nan had changed, he immediately asked Han Fang to find out.

At this time, Liu Yu, the minister of the Southern Song Dynasty who sent an envoy to the Han Dynasty, was in Tanggu, and Han Fang was urgently summoned after receiving the order of the prison state, but Liu Yu, who had always been weak, behaved quite tactfully in this matter: "Ah! Master Han already knows! The smile on his face was full of kindness: "My Great Song Dynasty has received a lot of favors from the Great Han, and I can't repay it, this time my lord heard that Zongbi invaded the north, and was worried that Tanggu would be invaded, so he sent a large army to prepare for reinforcements in the north." I just received the documents from the imperial court, and I was about to inform Lord Han, but I didn't want Lord Han to know first. ”

Han Fang said with a dark face: "Zong Bi's invasion of the north is self-defeating, this matter is handled by the generals of the Han Dynasty, and it is better for the army of your dynasty to be divided, don't cross the border, so as not to cause disputes between the two countries." ”

Liu Yu sighed and said, "I have good intentions." ”

Han Fang intercepted and said: "We understand this kindness!" I also asked Lord Liu to quickly repair the book and explain my intention to Jiankang. ”

Liu Yu asked: "Isn't it too abrupt for Lord Han to make such a decision?" Don't you need to ask the prince of the prison country about this? ”

Han Fang said: "Han Fang is here to pass on the decree of the crown prince. ”

Liu Yu asked again: "Don't you have to ask Marshal Ouyang?" ”

Han Fang said: "The marshal and the crown prince are originally of one mind. ”

Liu Yu asked again: "What about Yang Xiang?" That's what he meant? ”

Han Fang was already a little impatient when he saw him so ridiculous, if half a year ago, the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty would not dare to be so lazy to the Han Dynasty even in Jiankang, but now it is not as good as in the past, and it is not easy for the ages to be arrogant and lose power in foreign affairs, so Han Fang just snorted and said: "I am up and down, this is the intention!" ”

Liu Yu smiled: "If that's the case, then I can't do anything." I'm going to fix the book, but depending on what my lord means, I still hope to help the big man. Saying that, he assured Han Fang to his face: As long as there is no crisis in the Han army, the Song army will never cross the border, so as to avoid the suspicion of overstepping the border.

But what if there is a crisis in the Han army? Liu Yu didn't say it, and Han Fang didn't ask either—asking in this case would be a sign of weakness!

"Humph! Zhao Gou's trick is so poisonous! After listening to Han Fang's reply, Zhi Yunwu said hatefully: "Although they don't send troops now, they have pinned down our armies in Lunan and Weinan from moving, not only can't move, but also have to chase up and increase their troops to guard against them!" But where can we send more troops now! ”

The Han court has not been able to get the two rivers of Shaanxi for a long time, and the Song dynasty still has considerable appeal in this area, and if the military and civilians lose trust in the Han court, they may defect to the Song Dynasty at any time. From this point of view, although the Southern Song Dynasty did not officially attack, the threat posed may be greater than that of the other three combined!

This truth, Zhi Yunwu understands, Yang Yingqi understands, Ouyang Shi understands, and Li Shou, the envoy of Western Xia, also understands! Although Li Shou didn't know what was going on at the front because of the news blockade, the change in Han Ting's attitude towards him—whether it was more rigorous precautions or more thorough etiquette—made him feel that the killer weapon should be thrown out. So he sent nine letters in a row, asking to be received by the prince of the prison country, and the words in the document became more and more explicit, and even questioned that the prince "didn't dare to see" if he didn't see him! When things got to this point, there were only two options left for Zhi Yunwu's treatment of Li Shou: one was to deport the country, and the other was to meet him immediately.

If Zhi Yan Chong was there, of course he would choose the former, but if Zhi Yan Chong was there, Li Shou would not dare to shout so openly. Now if Zhe Yunwu expels Li Shou from the situation, it will be to break off diplomatic relations with Western Xia, and the Xia border crisis situation, which has a little possibility of easing, will break out in an all-round way, and the entire northwest will be completely plunged into the quagmire of war!

Thinking of this, Zhe Yunwu even sweated in his palms, and when he reached this situation, he fully realized the difficulty and danger of seeking a country!

"Ready, ready." Zhi Yunwu said to Han Fang: "I'll see him!" I'd like to see what he does! ”

Zhi Yunwu's opinion was passed to Ouyang Shi and Yang Yingqi, and Ouyang Yi immediately agreed, and said that he would be present to escort him at that time, but Yang Yingqi just replied: "It should be seen, and sooner or later it will be seen." ”

After hearing this reply, Zhi Yunwu couldn't help but frown, and asked the attendant who ran errands and passed the message: "Seventh Uncle only said this?" ”

"Yes." After answering this question, the attendant thought for a while and said: "When Weichen arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the house was full of medicinal incense, and when he passed the prince's edict, he peeked at Yang Xiang's expression, and it seemed that he was ...... Seems to ......"

Zhi Yunwu asked: "What does it seem!" ”

The attendant said, "It seems that Yang Xiang's illness is serious again!" ”

Zhi Yunwu was shocked, and while sending the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse, he continued to deal with important military and political affairs. He was irritable in his heart, and gradually the words and symbols on the official documents seemed to fly, turning into a long rope around his neck, strangling him out of breath, and finally he jumped up with a loud bang and rolled to the ground.

The servants who served around were so frightened that they gave first aid, and while asking for a doctor, they reported to the queen. Wan Yanhu was watching Zhi Yunwen and Lin Yu bickering in the harem, and when he heard the news and hurried over, the imperial doctor had already woken up Zhi Yunwu.

Wan Yanhu saw that his son's face was pale, and he asked anxiously, "What's going on?" Why is this happening! ”

Lin Yu, who came with her, helped her and comforted: "Mom, don't be like this, it'll be fine, isn't Brother Wu awake?" ”

Zhi Yunwen ran to the side of the bed and grabbed Zhi Yunwu's hand and said, "Brother, are you okay?" ”

Zhi Yunwu smiled slightly and said, "It's okay." Then he said to Yan Hu: "Queen Mother, I'm fine." But his voice was a little weak.

Wanyanhu asked the imperial doctor, and the imperial physician said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is overly energetic and anxious, as long as he rests for two days, he will be fine for conditioning." No big deal, no big deal. Saying that, he prescribed the medicine, and Wanyanhu was busy asking people to decoct the medicine. He stepped forward again and asked, "Ah Wu, are you ...... Alas, you can rest these days! Military and political matters, let your fourth uncle and seventh uncle take care of it. ”

"No, no." Zhi Yunwu said: "I can't fall down now, and I have to see the envoy of Western Xia tomorrow." ”

Wan Yanhu's feet stepped heavily on the ground and stomped on him: "What Western Xia envoy!" Let others see you! ”

Zhi Yunwu said: "No, Queen Mother, I have already sent an order to see him, if he loses his promise, it will be a mistake in state affairs." Besides, Uncle Seventh is also sick, if I don't hold on a little more, we big men are afraid that we won't be able to break through this hurdle! ”

Wan Yanhu exclaimed: "Ying Qi is also sick? Turning his head and asking Lin Yu: "Ying Qi...... What happened to him? ”
